I've got this feeling your trying to copy all the Volkswagen owners that like to drive about with crap on the roof?

Each to their own.

It's not crap it's a Carton of Ribena.

I don't know what I'm trying to achieve to be honest, just like to mess about with stuff that's easily changed.

I like the idea of having a hill climb rally look with the roof rack and maybe a number on the side.

Brilliant, well my name is Ed so I'm halfway there. I may try and find some old ski's for the roof rack.

Any other suggestions for items to put on the roof rack, keep em coming.

I kinda like the roofrack. On someone elses car anyway. In fact, I like the whole look of the car and Sahara is a lovely colour. At least it's got a bit of character. :)
